Middle Kids – Salt Eyes

Middle Kids have shared a brand new track “Salt Eyes”. This compelling new single was recorded in Ryan Adams’ Los Angeles studio during their American tour earlier in the year, and is yet another display of their knack for haunting hooks and lyrical poignancy that ooze irresistible indie rock appeal. The trackfollows hot on the heels of debut album Lost Friends, which was released this May.

Hannah, from Middle Kids, explains:“Salt Eyes is when you get those red-dry-eyes after a big cry. Sometimes we try to live large but actually it makes us feel small. Salt Eyes is what we get when we’re searching for freedom but haven’t found it yet.”

Middle Kids will open for Bloc Party on their forthcoming Silent Alarm Arena tour before headlining their own UK and European Tour in November.  All dates and tickets are HERE.

Middle Kids – Found Friends

Following the recent release of their debut album, ‘Lost Friends’, Middle Kids have now launched Found Friends which brings the charm of Mix-tape culture into the modern age by creatively utilising Spotify’s technology to match fans, and their playlists, with each other wherever they may be.

We made our album Lost Friends with the intention to help listeners further discover what is true and beautiful about the world and its people.To us, the phrase Lost Friends mourns lost connections but also reveres the very human desire for relationship. We are thankful for the bonds that music creates for us and want you to feel a little more connected by music, too.”

Check out Found Friends HERE and share a playlist and find a friend. It’s great fun.

Middle Kids – Don’t be Hiding

Australian trio Middle Kids, Hannah Joy, Harry Day and Tim Fitz, today share the video for‘Don’t Be Hiding’, which follows the recent release of their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Lost Friends’.

Hannah says about the song and video, “There are so many things we feel ashamed of and then so often hide. When hidden, it is easy to feel people don’t know us and if they did know us, they wouldn’t accept us. Don’t Be Hiding calls us to be honest and brave in sharing who we are whilst learning to love ourselves and each other as imperfect yet cherished people.  We made this video at Harry’s house. It’s relaxed and playful, like the song, as if to create a space to explore this idea of sharing and accepting.”

The band will tour the UK and Europe this November, all dates and tickets links are HERE.

Middle Kids - Mistake (Official Video)

Middle Kids made a powerful debut last year with the release of their internationally acclaimed self-titled EP, featuring singles “Edge of Town” and “Your Love”. The band dazzled at several SXSW and The Great Escape showcases, made their U.S. television debut on Conan and supported legendary acts like Ryan Adams and The War On Drugs.

The new album, Lost Friends, is the kind of album that sucker-punches you in the gut, revealing its nuances only after repeated listens. The songs’ edges are jagged, the production clean, stray imperfections imbue warmth and a human touch. Middle Kids craft classic hooks and riffs that tangle up in your brain like licorice and choruses that linger long after the song has faded. And they’ve bonded over a greater sense of what their music should accomplish.

“In a time where a lot of division is growing, we want to be part of the conversation that unites people around certain ideals that are universal, like hope and love,” says Hannah Joy. “That’s so much a thread throughout this album: Even though things are tough, it’s worth believing in something good and in the idea that we can heal. And in some ways, I wanted the music to be beautiful and a respite from what’s going on.”
